There are probably better games here but my vote will go to... Sceptre of Bagdad

Nobody else will probably vote for it so at least my vote will make some justice.

I voted for it too!

Love Sherlock, Slightly Magic, Stop the Express and Spellbound too.

I thought R would be the peak, with 45 titles. Nope, this one was 78!

Next letter is going to be T. That's also gonna be chocka.

Not if I register with a second account or more.

You're an evil man, definitely!

Wait until you see how many accounts he creates for the 'Z' vote...

Difficult choice, a few really good titles. I'm going for Slightly Magic because I played it multiple times even after beating it and never got bored. I can even forgive the one really dodgy rhyme in it. It won't win, but heh ho.

It won't be necessary. You all *know* what to vote in the Z poll.

Returning to the S, I'm surprised by Saboteur poor performance.

It was my second choice. There's so much quality here, it feels like a second round of votes.

They should have called it Ninja Commando. Not only would it have sold better, as everyone was ninja-crazy in the 80s, it would have pissed all over Nebulus in the 'N' poll. Shame Durell lacked the foresight.

I voted for Samurai Warrior in the end, it's a shame these polls don't allow a maximum of three votes per user as it would make things a lot more open.

Just for the record my second and third votes would have gone to Skool Daze and Stormbringer.

Who voted for SWIV?

Me. It's a tactical vote to ensure that Salamander doesn't win.

If Salamander doesn't win I will consider you the sole culprit.

Never expected more votes for Saboteur II than the original!

And I never thought Savage would only get two votes.

... and Sir Fred only one vote! (don't stare at me, I didn't do it!)

Nor me. The original's a classic but the sequel's a bit naff IMO. The movement/animation is so slow and laboured it's almost like it's written in BASIC.

Glad to see someone else agreed with my Splitting Images vote though

It was me who gave it the 2nd vote, but it looks like the original voter has changed his mind.

I guess he just didn't want the game to have no votes, and seeing another support for it, has decided to favor another non voted one. I can understand that feeling, for I almost voted for Sacred Armour of Antiriad (now with 1 vote), Silkworm of Skate Crazy, but in the end I decided to go for the one I liked the most.

So, Salamander's lost. R-Tape will have to pay for it.

Glad Skool Daze got it. I remember not voting for Back to Skool on the premise that it would get its due the 'S' vote.

Dear god, you mean....you're going to make me play it?

Of course: until you're able to finish it without cheating.

"Guards! Throw him in the Salamander Room! See you in 40 years, R!"

I insisted.
